Thanks for the report ubuntourist!
I glanced at the log and those HTTPFile errors look familiar.
I see that the build recipe uses ENABLE_SSL=y, but it does not list OpenSSL as a dependency. Perhaps you had first tried to build, encountered a failure, then installed OpenSSL, then tried again without first doing a 'make clean' and got this?
And then on a brand new day you started from a make clean... That's my theory anyways.
I think the recipe should be fixed to depend on SSL if it is built with ENABLE_SSL=y.

Note that the 'alternative' package (ecere-sdk-git) you mentioned is extremely old (0.44.11) and shouldn't even be there.

The ecere-sdk one is using the latest official release (0.44.15) but that is also dated, and until a new release comes out it would probably be best to refer to 'master' which contains fixes and would avoid those _Float128 warnings, among other numerous fixes & improvements.
